A courting couple in a dark garden, with the man caught mid-bow, gives this scene its quiet intimacy. The image belongs to the Valentine's Day group, a theme that drew many photographers and illustrators in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when cards and sentimental pictures of romance were widely produced and collected. Bowing was a familiar gesture of courtship in that period, and the stillness of the figures and the dim, enclosing foliage suggest a private meeting rather than a public celebration. Viewers today often read such pictures as a window onto the formal manners of earlier courtship.
